HOW TO EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN?

Just as Prophet Elijah ate one mean cooked by the angel and then he went in the strength of that meal for forty days, likewise God’s people who faithfully feed on His meal that He is preparing for them would receive supernatural strength.  God want us to feast and dine with Him on a daily basis for there is abundance in the Father’s House. 

Many believers in the churches today are under nourish and sick in their spirits because they have spent their entire spiritual lives just listening to spiritual message but THEY HAVE NOT LEARN HOW TO EAT THE WORD OF GOD! Many have been taught how to use the Blood of Jesus to cleanse them of their sins when they commit one but few indeed know THE IMPORTANCE OF DAILY DRINKING THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB!  

Our heavenly life that we have inherited from the Lord Jesus Christ must be maintained and sustained by Heavenly Food and Drink!  The Lord told His disciples, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood, you have no life in you.  Whoever eat My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.  For My flesh is food indeed and My blood is drink indeed.  He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in Him.  As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.” – John 6:53-57

Eternal life comes by eat His Flesh and drinking His blood.  How do we abide in Him? By eating His flesh and drinking His blood! How do we partake of His nature?  The same by eating His flesh and drinking His blood. 

If we do not feed upon Jesus as the Life-Giving Word of God and fully appropriate the Life-Transforming Blood which He gives us, we do not have His life in us. To fully understand how to eat His flesh and drink His blood, we really need the Holy Spirit to teach and help us.

Dearly beloved, you will know that merely listening to a spiritual message preached in the church today is not the same as the literal FEASTING UPON THE LIFE-GIVING WORD OF GOD! Apostle Paul tells us the letter kills but it is the spirit that gives life. And the Lord Himself told the disciples that THE FLESH PROFITS NOTHING; IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT GIVES LIFE AND THE WORDS THAT HE SPEAKS ARE SPIRIT AND LIFE! 

During Jesus temptation, He reminded the devil that MAN DO NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD.

The letter of the Word kills us.  It ministers death to us.  But when God speaks to us He is not interested just to pass some information or knowledge to us, but He is seeking to impart His very Spirit and life into us.  The Words that God speaks are LIVING, ACTIVE, POWERFUL  AND IMPACT.  It is FRESH, FERVENT AND FIERY!.  It is LIVING, BREATHING AND PULSATING  with the nature of God Himself.  That is the QUICKENED WORD OF GOD. It will bring instant change in our character and circumstances.  The word of God that minister LIFE and  INCREASE  to us. The word will SATISFY AND PROSPER US. The word  will  HEAL US AND DELIVER US, RESTORE US, FEED US. That is the very Flesh of the Son of Man as we eat.

This is the very Spiritual Meat that Jesus Christ fed upon when He told His disciples, “I HAVE MEAT TO EAT THAT YOU DO NOT  KNOW OF.  MY MEAT IS TO DO THE WILL OF HIM WHO SENT ME AND TO FINISH HIS WORK.”

Jesus said, “My flesh is food indeed and my blood is drink indeed” - John 6:53.   This is the Spiritual Meat that Christ now offers to us. If we feast on it daily then supernatural strength and miracles would manifest to do His will and work His works.

So, the way to EAT the flesh of the Son of Man, or to receive his spirit words into our innermost being, we must first call upon the name of the Lord and then actively receive His Quickened Word.  This is a Spiritual Exercise called  “Prayer-Eating”.  When we call upon the Lord our spiritual heart or mouth is opened to receive the Spiritual Meat that He is offering us.

Like David, we can say to others, “O taste and see that the Lord is good”.  In the book of Psalms 107:20 it says, “He sends His Word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”

Finally, the Lord wants us to come to Him and feast upon Him.  He wants us to come to Him and drink from Him.  He wants to be the SOURCE, THE STRENGTH, THE  SUSTENANCE AND THE SATISFACTION OF OUR LIVES!!
